Induction Program for Beginning Teachers (IPBT)
The program is for all newly hired teachers in DepEd. The profile of these new teachers is as follows:
Fresh graduates from teacher education institutions (TEIs)
Education graduates without teaching experience
Non-education graduates and/or professionals
Non-education graduates who took the Certification in Teaching Program (CTP)
Teachers from private schools
Other cases (such as those who have worked for DepEd offices and are now shifting to teaching, teachers who have applied for a leave of absence but would like to return to teaching, etc.)
The TIP framework comprises three components:
The ‘Curriculum’ inducts teachers into DepEd, builds their KSAVs, and supports career advancement.
The ‘Delivery’ provides teachers with a multi-modal delivery platform that supports the curriculum.
The ‘Ecosystem’ enables harmonized and dynamic cooperation within linkages and resources.
